Depends where you are. It’ll be dangerous around here - in previous storms there was a video of someone jogging along the promenade as the waves crashed. Looked fancy but the debris the next day included plenty of bricks and rocks, and an old car tyre, so they could easily have been brained.

Oh indeed, nothing much has happened in the last 9 months that could be construed as a conspiracy. I’m sure they’ll spring back into action when these dull, uneventful times end.

I’d say:

• Event Horizon - classic
• Resident Evil 1 - great film, 2 is solid although the rest are a bit samey
• Mortal Kombat - thoroughly entertaining
• The Three Musketeers - enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting to

The bulk of his films are, at worst, fairly entertaining and I don’t regret watching them, with only Pompeii and RE: Retribution being a bit dull. The only film of his I give under 5/10 is Death Race 3.

They’ve been suspiciously quiet for 9 months now. I don’t want to read too much into that but… 🤔

I’m out and about in that mess tomorrow, so I’m going to need more than a stiff upper lip. Perhaps a pair of weighted trousers.

From the top level of this: An open letter to NLnet to pull funding from development of Loops

Conflict of interest

This open letter has been authored by contributors who wish to remain anonymous. The authors, as well as some of the undersigned, are friends and acquaintances of hazycora, and as such, we acknowledge any potential conflicts of interest stemming from our relationship.

I don’t know either party but from the information made public it looks like dansup has acted like a dick and fallen out with hazycora and the drama has escalated hard.

From what I’ve observed dansup has been going full tilt to get Loops done because of the issues with TikTok and he is not great at delegating or really dealing with people. However, it would be a shame for such vital projects to have their funding cut but, equally, if I was in charge of those grants I’d be worried about dansup burning out and progress stalling. So it should be a requirement that all this is made open source as a priority, with a short to medium term goal being to have these projects run by a group of people to ensure the future and avoid similar issues going forward.

Welcome back.

Yeah, but folks on here are likely Web Grognards, who kept our skills honed and our powder dry for just this moment.

A rare red weather warning covering Northern Ireland and Scotland was issued on Thursday before what could be the strongest storm in generations.

The Met Office said the arrival of Storm Éowyn on Friday could bring gusts of up to 100mph and “flying debris resulting in a danger to life”.

The red warnings, an upgrade of existing amber warnings, covered all of Northern Ireland and parts of central and southern Scotland, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Ayr and Peebles.

…

Northern Railways, which operates across northern England, advised passengers to “avoid travelling where possible” as it cancelled services before the storm. The company said it was expecting “severe disruption” and had cancelled services across the network including trains across the Pennines, down the Cumbrian coast and between Carlisle and Newcastle.

LNER said there would be no services north of Newcastle in either direction from 11am on Friday. Avanti West Coast advised passengers not to travel north of Preston or on its North Wales route.

Blimey, we’re in for a rough one.

Just wait until you find out that the admins have been keeping all the blackjack and hookers to ourselves 🤫

Definitely not a thing.

Anyway, these instances don’t run themselves, back to the grindstone…

It’s the constellation of federated web services all communicating with each other through a shared protocol.

Imagine if Web 2.0 had dawned with someone inventing a way for all the blogs, forums, wikis and social media to talk to each other, instead of Big Web tempting people into walled gardens. Well we’re now back on that better timeline and making up for lost time.

Their loss, our gain.

Sneaky.

The landlord of my local will buy spirits from the supermarket when they are on offer as it is cheaper than getting it wholesale.

I thought they counted as berries. Like bananas.
